Starting Wegovy pill and looking for others to join a support thread Sept 2026

[Autumnfun1]

Day 1 on wegovy pill would you like to join a support thread to support each other on this journey

I'm 2 weeks in now and have just weighed myself, that's a 1.8lb loss this week. I would have liked to have seen more but as long as it's heading in the right direction I'm ok with that.

Since I started I've experienced dry mouth and thirst, it's starting to settle now but still my worst symptom by far! I wondered if anyone else is experiencing this? It's at the point where I'm exercising less than I did before the pill as I don't want to feel any thirstier.

Can i ask, did you titrate down on MJ? I'm just about at goal after a 4.5 stone loss. Currently on 10mg MJ. Worried about reducing and putting weight back on but would like to maintain if I can in wegovy pill as its alot cheaper. Any advice welcome. Thanks

Well done on your loss..and everyone else too 👏

The dry mouth/thirst is driving me mad and I’m only 3 days in!

I have felt much better this week in terms of fatigue/headache/nausea, so I guess it was something else? I even managed to get out on my push bike and am brewing up for getting back on my rowing machine.

I try to weigh weekly and have plateau'd the last 3 but i'm staying calm and waiting to see if it picks up again because tbh i'd worry if i was eating less, my diet is much less 'rich' than it was and the pirtions smaller, I just cant believe i will stop losing 🤷‍♀️

I’m on day 28 of 1.5 and still get the dry mouth all the time. I’m drinking a lot of water!

I did titrate off Mounjaro one month at a time, but I think you can switch to another GLP 1 at a higher dose & titrate down on that to a maintenance dose. I'm with Ouskh Pharmacy who are very good at advising. Well done on your loss too!

So I’m on day 22 of 1.5mg and they aren’t really effectively suppressing my appetite anymore. I’d already ordered another month of 1.5mg as they were originally working really well.
Ive bought forward my next delivery of 4mg so should have them in around 9 days time. But I will have most of a box of 1.5’s as well that I don’t know what to do with. Any ideas? Don’t really want to waste them as they are expensive!

Belated thanks to everyone responding to my post. I'm with Bolt and the package is twice the height of a letterbox so no chance of it being forced through, and the postman said I had to sign for it or no delivery. Wonder why I'm so special 😯

I'm on Day 6 and I've been more hungry than usual and absolutely shattered. I've also got a very dry mouth but was blaming my autoimmune condition for that. Hopefully on weighing day (Saturday) I won't have put too much on 😬

On day 22 and 1 stone & 3lbs down! Feeling very well, and I’m staying at 1.5mg for another month as food noise is down and appetite well suppressed.
Only been queasy twice - a lamb dinner and a Greggs steak bake ( nothing else available) feeling sick soon passed, distraction seems to work well.
My joints have stopped aching and I’m enjoying actually “feeling” lighter.
Hope all goes well for you OP - keep some ginger biscuits handy, they are good for that nauseous feeling you might get!

Why don’t you just make 3mg doses? It’s cheaper than giving them away??

Is it ok to do that? Everything I’ve read says not to?

My bolt packages are never letter box sized either

What’s the date on them? Could you keep them for when you hit your target weight and trial is they work as maintenance dose?

Yes, this is one of the best options I have I think as they don’t expire until 2029. Thanks!

Started Day 1 1.5mg - so worried I’m going to be really unwell ? Any tips that I can do to make sure as well as can be? I have a very busy job Monday to Wednesday working never sat down and try to go to 2 weight training sessions a week. Hoping don’t loose strength.

You may well have no symptoms at all!
I have a very active job, on my feet all day and luckily have had zero negative side effects at all. Good luck 🤞🏻

I am Day 4. Have no side effects whatsoever.

I've only ever had constipation, never any nausea at all.

I did a short weight workout at home the other morning about an hour after taking my tablet and I felt quite nauseous for a bit after, so maybe try and leave it a while between taking the pill and doing your exercise if you can? It passed quickly though. Hope you feel ok, by Monday you’ll have had a few days to for your body to adjust, at least.

Two weeks in, 6lb down, out of 36lb to lose. I’d be very happy to carry on at this rate 2-3lb per week consistently.

I noticed something when I was cooking last night, that previously if I’d have added an ingredient like yoghurt or cream cheese or something, I’d always lick the spoon after, but I just put it down and carried on. It was great! Just a small thing but I’m just thinking about food less. Anyone else got any wins this week?.

Other than that my appetite is still suppressed but not as strong as it was the first few days. The idea of binge eating doesn't appeal at all. I’m having smaller portions so trying to think more carefully about nutrition, and having protein powder as well if I need to top up the protein level.

Well done to all of us, it can be a big thing to take this step and accept help, we should be proud that we’re doing something, making changes and taking control of our weight and health.

Thanks. I am ok so far ! Been thirstier and also keep burping 🤣

First week on 1.5,
One and a half lbs loss, little bit disappointed if I'm honest. I've been really watching what I eat and not eaten a lot. Have had some suppression but still felt quite hungry and could easily have eaten 'bad things'.
Still, it's a start.

I've had virtually no side effects so far apart from fleeting mild nausea occasionally

12 days in and I’ve noticed that my appetite has picked up a bit again. I’ve got a week or so to go before I have to update my dose for next month (it took me a week to start after it arrived!) and I’m not sure whether to up the dose or stick. 4mg is more expensive too!
